Caption Fail

I spent most of yesterday working on an apron. It’s MAYBE half way done, and it is by far the hardest thing I’ve ever sewn.
Wanna see it?

It’s so adorable that I keep going despite how long it’s taking. When I began cutting out pieces yesterday morning, I put on a movie. I love streaming classic movies while I do stuff around the house. What better than a classic Cary Grant movie?

I put the closed captions on and started lying my pattern pieces down.

Isn’t the fabric pretty? I just love it.

I first starting noticing the captioning was off when I looked up from my fabric and saw that the words didn’t match the scene, but I figured the timing was just off. It happens sometimes.
Then I looked up and saw this:

And I realized something was terribly off.
So I spent the flick going back and forth between my cutting and taking pictures.


Wouldn’t it be great to combine old movies with captions from new movies? I was cracking up!

Some of them made NO sense whatsoever.

And I ended up seeing a bounty of “F” bombs which could only mean the captioned movie was rated R. “Monkey Business” was a little scandalous too what with Cary Grant being in swimming trunks.

And Marilyn Monroe wearing a swim suit that covers more than everything:

Then there was the NAKED baby:

Might as well rate it X…

I loved scenes like this one:
And this:
Would you say “thanks” if your husband was creaming you with a bucket of white paint? I would (n’t)!

“I like Gouda.”

He looks like a gangster.
And finally, my favorite:

Even the ending went off with a bang:

And those were only the pictures I caught when I actually paid attention to the screen which really wasn’t most of the time. I just love when life drops little tender mercies at our feet in unconventional forms.
Through a little googling, I found out that the captioned movie was “Broken Flowers” a film made in 2005 with Bill Murray.
I wonder if he ever met Cary Grant… and I wonder if I should report the problem to Netflix?
Nah…
